I think that our nominee has a good chance of carrying every state that W carried in 2000.Unless I’m mistaken that’s enough (I’d have to check the new EV counts resulting from the census to be sure).
I wouldn't be counting chickens yet.
Romney has a good chance of becoming the nominee.
I live in Ohio and I can tell you there are goodly number of people leaving the State. And I've noticed many are heading to Texas.
So I am guessing we are losing Conservative Votes in the process. Columbus used to be a toss up as far as to which party would win the Area. It seems to have swung permanently to the Dems. The Area I live in is about 70% Republican. In the recent past no one would even consider Running as a Democrat (except for one guy who would always get elected because he represented an Area where most of the Teachers and the City Union Workers lived in) for our town council and Mayor. Last Election the Democrats managed to get 4 people Elected to Our Town Council.
Bottom line from what I can gather Ohio is definitely in Play for the Democrats. They can take it on election day even if Gas Prices and the Economy is still shaky. The Taft Debacle hurt the Republican party deep in the Republican strongholds in Ohio. It will take a decade or more from this point to repair the damage.
well, don’t count out the hordes of freepers who are going to vote obamey...its a game changer.....
